Coach Steve Kerr originally intended to give Bogut the day off, for rest, but with Festus Ezeli serving a one-game suspension, Bogut will get the call.

The Warriors are 8.5-point favorites on the road.

Warriors want to rest Andrew Bogut on Sunday

by Shawn Krest | CBSSports.com

(2/28/15) Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he'd like to rest Andrew Bogut for Sunday's game at the Celtics. The fight during Friday night's game is complicating Kerr's plans, however.

Festus Ezeli and the Raptors' Tyler Hansbrough were both ejected for their mid-game skirmish. Kerr will wait to find out if Ezeli gets suspended by the league before deciding on Bogut's playing status.

Warriors C Andrew Bogut (illness) questionable Friday

Bogut was a late scratch from Tuesday's overtime loss to the Bulls due to flu-like symptoms, and he'll have to show improvement in the next day-and-a-half to be an option for Friday's matchup. He has averaged 6.8 points and 8.7 rebounds in 29 games.

A healthier Andrew Bogut than we've seen the past few years put together a well-rounded season for the Warriors. In Rotisserie leagues his 62.7 field goal percentage, 10.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game boosted his value as a specialist, but his league-worst 34.4 percent free throw rate and miniscule 7.3 points per game brought him crashing back to earth overall. In points leagues, Bogut is a reliable-when-healthy No. 2 center who scored at least 20 Fantasy points per game in 17 out of 24 weeks. He's only turning 30, but the wear and tear of many injury-riddled seasons makes Bogut seem among the elder statesmen in the league. One thing to consider is that perhaps Steve Kerr will utilize his underrated passing skills a bit more, which could lead to a Fantasy renaissance of sorts for Bogut. But since he'll likely be an afterthought in a high-powered offense, wait until after the middle rounds to draft him.
